The Capstone team of committed Christian men and women are professionally trained, highly skilled people who view their jobs as personal life missions to be pursued with a tenacious spirit. The Capstone staff honors our personal relationship with each family and son and believes that success is not about luck. We work lovingly and diligently with young men and their families to achieve our mission. I invite you to contact parents from the parent reference lists and ask them about us. The number one comment made by sons and parents is that the staff is what made the difference to them.

Each of Capstone’s counseling staff holds at least a Master’s Degree in a counseling field including Marriage and Family Therapy and Substance Abuse Counseling. The therapy staff members are one or more of the following: Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor, Licensed Associate Counselor, Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, or a Counselor in Training through the Arkansas Substance Abuse Certification Board.

Each therapist meets with their residents four times per week for an individual therapy session. The core of the therapeutic work is done within these sessions. Therapists have a maximum of three residents which allows them to give the time and attention required for each individual and their family.
